    Love That Doesn't Fail Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014
     | 6,224 views

    This is why Jesus made a sacrifice for you and me. Because he really loves us. A love that doesn't fail is a love that sacrifices. The world has no idea what this real love is, because the world is selfish.

    According to John those who say they love God show it by obeying the Word of God. There were those who were false teachers during John's day who claimed that they were apostles, too, just like John. There were others who claimed that Jesus wasn't really human, he didn't really suffer and die as a ...read more

     | 14,225 views

    One of our most basic needs is to be loved. The lyrics of a classic song reflect this worldwide longing—“What the world needs now is love, sweet love, and that’s the only thing there’s too little of.” God has met this need in Christ.

    In our society, sin has become a "bad word." In the name of tolorance, Christians are excusing their own sin and the sins of others. This sermon deals with the reality of Sin based on God's Inspired Word.

It lingers with us, and must be addressed from the perspective of Holy Scripture, and with undaunting courage. * - TODAY, we want safe sex, so people in our ...read more
